The AIDS 2008 Impact Report, a report of the key learning from the XVII International AIDS Conference, held in Mexico City in August 2008, is now available here.
The report is also available on the AIDS 2008 homepage, as well as the IAS homepage.
According to the IAS, the report is not meant to capture all of the hundreds of sessions, events and activities at AIDS 2008 (as no one report could reasonably do this), rather it is an analysis/reflection on the key learning in the following areas:
- Epidemiology
- Basic and Clinical Research
- Biomedical Prevention Research
- Regional Focus
- and a section on how AIDS 2008 and previous international AIDS conferences have contributed to the overall response to HIV/AIDS
All analyses are referenced to sessions/abstracts.
Please note that several organizations are producing their own reports associated with conference activities, or key issues/areas of focus during AIDS 2008, and we will make them available on the AIDS 2008 website as well.
Integrity should be a greater component of a gay men's health movement. Instead of sidelining, open debate should be fomented. All points of views should be invited including the contrarian, the objectionable. Fomenting debate gets ever more people involved. Stifling should be avoided. We already know what's that like to be suppressed. By deleting others' words that could have been a point of debate the integrity of the principles set for a gay men's health movement is contradicted. We should be more encouraging with an engaging back and forth of wide ranging ideas not be kind of a mutual appreciation society for an ingroup. Please restore my earlier comment and if you would let me know your thoughts.

ReplyDeleteQuoting an ad with right angle brackets for the purpose of exchanging points of views about it is reasonable. With dissent and advocacy we learn about whether or not the wording is fraudulent and about how a 15 minute home test could work in practice for POTENTIAL sex partners.
All the best for the holidays!
